Artist of the Day: Paul Briggs

Our Artist of the Day feature is extra-cool this week because we’re focusing on artists who contributed to Disney’s new film Frozen, which expands nationwide this week. It all begins with story so it’s fitting that our first featured Frozen artist is Paul Briggs, the story supervisor on the film.

Paul shares a lot of his free-flowing doodle pages from meetings where the combination of a distracted mind and idle time often produce interesting results. See more on his PBCB Studios blog, and more recently, Tumblr.

Read interviews with Paul here and here where in which he discusses his role in storytelling on recent Disney feature films.
